    It doesn't look like it has full bell lines.

    It'll end up being "not sold".

    Yeah, probably the owner trolling for a sucker to bump his bid up.

    That coin is NOT FBL.

    Not even close. Looks like an overly optimistic seller.

    My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

    Those obverse hits are distracting.

    THE HARDEST FBL of the series, bidding Moon Money for it, too. MS65?? With those two BIG hits on the shoulder on the obverse!?!?!?!?

    Actually, no. Teletrade raises the bid incrementally even when no real bids have been placed.

    i am not an expert on FBL, but i think
    it does not even appear to be close.

    teletrade, in my opinion, is what i call shifty and not
    deserving of trust or bids.

    PCGS has only graded 37 FBL 1953-S Franklins. To "price guide" has $5,000 for MS64FBL. No way in hell that coins is FBL.

    I must be confused? Look at the previous prices that this coin sold for and the grading company of each auction. When was the last time you could get a resubmission that fast. How can a coin tone, then untone, then tone again-all in less than 4 weeks? image

    My 2 NON-FBLs look better than that!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Which is WAY too low. The last MS63FBL to sell brought that.

    Blow it up to 300% with digi view; doesn't look FBL to me. I bet the owner of the coin put that bid in.

    and I bet the owner forgot the decimel point before the last 2 zeros


    $300 reserve fees is about 5 times the worth of the coin
